Proposed Information Collection
Request; Comment Request; CrossMedia Electronic Reporting Rule
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR),
‘‘Cross-Media Electronic Reporting
Rule’’ (EPA ICR No. 2002.06, OMB
Control No. 2025–0003) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is
soliciting public comments on specific
aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below. This is a
proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through April 30,
2015. An Agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before January 5, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OEI–2011–0096, online using
www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), by email to oei.docket@
epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket
Center, Environmental Protection
Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington,

dockets.
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: The scope of this ICR is the
electronic reporting components of
CROMERR, which is designed to: (i)
Allow EPA to comply with the
Government Paperwork Elimination Act
of 1998; (ii) provide a uniform,
technology-neutral framework for
electronic reporting across all EPA
programs; (iii) allow EPA programs to
offer electronic reporting as they
become ready for CROMERR; and (iv)
provide states with a streamlined
process—together with a uniform set of
standards—for approval of their
electronic reporting provisions for all
their EPA-authorized programs.
Responses to the collection of
information are voluntary. In order to
accommodate CBI, the information
collected must be in accordance with
the confidentiality regulations set forth
in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B.
Additionally, EPA will ensure that the
information collection procedures
comply with the Privacy Act of 1974
and the OMB Circular 108.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
that report electronically to EPA and

65392
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 2014 / Notices
state or local government authorized
programs; and state and local
government authorized programs
implementing electronic reporting.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary, required to obtain or retain a
benefit (Cross-Media Electronic
Reporting Rule (CROMER) established
to ensure compliance with the
Government Paperwork Elimination Act
(GPEA)).
Estimated number of respondents:
102,387 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 38,491 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,086,380 (per
year), including $1,438,861 in
annualized labor costs and $647,519 in
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 1,272 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease occurred primarily
because there was a decrease in the total
annual number of employees complying
with CROMERR’s identity proofing
requirements. In estimating the annual
number of employees complying with
the CROMERR’s identity proofing
requirements for this ICR, EPA was able
to take advantage of improvements in
data software and hardware capabilities
and thus, develop estimates based on
actual data instead of the complex
calculations used in the currently
approved ICR. In particular, EPA was
able to obtain actual numbers and
growth rates for the annual number of
subscriber agreements submitted to CDX
over the past several years. These data
were used to improve the estimate for
the annual number of subscriber
agreements submitted by direct
reporters. EPA believes that the
respondent estimates included in this
ICR are a reasonable approximation of
the actual respondent universe.

reference methods and two equivalent
methods for monitoring ambient air
quality.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has designated, in accordance
with 40 CFR Part 53, two new reference
methods and two new equivalent
methods. The reference methods
include one for measuring PM2.5, and
one for measuring PM10–2.5 in the
ambient air. The two equivalent

SUMMARY:
In
accordance with regulations at 40 CFR
part 53, the EPA evaluates various
methods for monitoring the
concentrations of those ambient air
pollutants for which EPA has
established National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQSs), as set
forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring
methods that are determined to meet
specific requirements for adequacy are
designated by the EPA as either
reference methods or equivalent
methods (as applicable), thereby
permitting their use under 40 CFR part
58 by States and other agencies for
determining compliance with the
NAAQSs.
The EPA hereby announces the
designation of one new reference
method for measuring PM2.5, one new
reference method for measuring
PM10–2.5, one new equivalent method for
measuring concentrations of carbon
monoxide (CO), and one equivalent
method for measuring ozone (O3) in the
ambient air. These designations are
made under the provisions of 40 CFR
part 53, as amended on August 31, 2011
(76 FR 54326–54341).

on a particular PM2.5 sampler and is
identified as follows:
RFPS–1014–219, ‘‘Tisch
Environmental Model TE-Wilbur2.5
PM2.5 Low-Volume Air Particulate
Sampler,’’ configured as a PM2.5
reference method, with firmware
version 1.70 or later and a TE–PM10–D
PM10 size-selective inlet as specified in
40 CFR 50 Appendix L Figs. L–2 thru
L–19, with either a BGI VSCCTM Very
Sharp Cut Cyclone particle size
separator or WINS impactor, and
operated for 24 sample periods at a flow
rate of 16.67 L/min, using 47 mm PTFE
membrane filter media, and in
accordance with the Tisch
Environmental Model TE-Wilbur2.5
PM2.5 Low-Volume Air Particulate
Sampler instruction manual and with
the requirements and sample collection
filters as specified in 40 CFR part 50,
Appendix L.
The new PM10–2.5 reference method
utilizes a pair of filter samplers than
have been designated individually as
reference methods, one for PM2.5 and
the other one for PM10, and have been
shown to meet the requirements
specified in Appendix O of 40 CFR part
50. The PM2.5 and PM10 samplers are
designated as reference methods RFPS–
1014–219 and RFPS–0714–216,
respectively. The newly designated
PM10–2.5 sampler is identified as follows:
RFPS–1014–220, ‘‘Tisch
Environmental Model TE-Wilbur LowVolume Air Particulate Sampler Pair’’
for the determination of coarse
particulate matter as PM10–2.5, consisting
of a pair of Tisch Environmental Model
TE-Wilbur samplers, with one being the
TE-Wilbur 2.5 PM2.5 sampler (RFPS–
1014–219) and the other being a TEWilbur 10 PM10 sampler (RFPS–0714–
216), and operated in accordance with
the associated TE-Wilbur instruction
manual. This designation applies to
PM10–2.5 measurements only.
The application for reference method
determination for the PM2.5 method was
